Description from the publisher:
They have no choice but to break all the rules. Hopefully their hearts will avoid the same fate…
Millicent Strong has no time for the nobility and their nonsense. Making sure her shop is ready for Christmas requires her full focus. So, when a brooding, battle-scarred lord shows up making ludicrous claims about her being the daughter of a duke, Millicent’s tempted to send him away. But there’s something about him that keeps her from saying no…to anything he wants…
Gabriel is desperate. The only way to rescue his sister from a marriage worse than death is to use Millicent as leverage against her vile father. The last thing he expected was for her to cooperate with his wild plan. And her offer to bring in The Kidnap Club? Even better. Now all he’ll have to do is figure out how to stop kissing his oh-so-willing victim…
But a fake kidnapping can lead to some very real—and problematic—feelings. When all is said and done, Millicent and Gabriel will need a lot more than the magic of the holiday season to make it to happily ever after…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story starts with the kidnapping…. But who is this guy? He’s not part of the club! And, why has he chosen to kidnap a shopkeeper. As it turns out, he has the right woman, but things just don’t go as planned for Gabriel. Still, he has the luck of his guardian namesake watching over him, since Millie is friends with the members of the Kidnap Club, and he needs them.
I loved this story. I did not put it down and read straight through during my Sunday off. Gabriel and Millie are meant for each other, and I wasn’t going to be happy leaving their story for a minute. I had to know what happened next, and next, and next….
This was a great addition to a series that I hope has more to come. It is such a wonderful concept - a sort of underground railroad for the 19th century women of England who were viewed as possessions instead of people.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
